Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 666: Chapter 275 President, I will walk the same path with you!_1

On the Plain Training Field.

Upon hearing the name “Mountain Collapse”, Wang Yuan’s expression seemed a bit dazed.

Not that he had been left in such a sorry state by Luo Chen.

Rather it was due to him, such an experienced fighter, had inadvertently fallen for Luo Chen’s tactics.

This technique is very strong!

But the restriction in its usage must also be immense.

From Luo Chen’s current level of mastery, he’s not nearly capable of casting a Fierce Sun Technique as quickly and simply.

Nonetheless, he was clever enough to disassemble this technique, break it down piece by piece and combined it together inadvertently.

It must have been when he accumulated the Fierce Sun Technique on purpose, and then actively withdrew it!

At that moment, a blazing Spirit Qi was left on the battlefield.

Using this as a lead….

Looking at the dazed Wang Yuan, Luo Chen was extremely satisfied.

In one year’s time, he finally pushed both the Earth Rock Technique and the Wave Technique, both of which are First Order Techniques, to the Finalization Level from Grandmaster Level.

Thus, the three minor techniques that constituted “Mountain Collapse”, a top Second Order attack, including Fireball, Earth Rock and Wave, have finally been balanced across the board.

It has become much easier for Luo Chen to cast “Mountain Collapse”.

Although he is not yet able to quickly release it, he has faintly grasped the essence of this attack technique after “Mountain Collapse” reached Grandmaster level.

Earth Rock is used for suppression, Wave for delay, and Fireball for explosion.

When the three are combined, they can both hinder the enemy’s escape and form a destructive force under terrifying explosions!

When the trial attack was just initiated,

He disassembled Mountain Collapse and released it in three steps.

No sound was made, it was performed in one breath!

The final effect was also amazing.

“Didn’t expect, you are growing this fast.” Wang Yuan regained his mind from the state of illusion, continuously expressing his feels from his mouth, “I used to personally point you out how to deal with enemies without any means when you were still weak, now your battle skills are so exquisite, even I was inadvertently fooled by you.”

Luo Chen descended from the sky. Looking down upon others from a high position is always impolite.

“Brother Wang, you overpraise me.”

Wang Yuan shook his head, seriously saying: “I naturally wouldn’t say things that are against my heart, I could feel the power that you held back in that move just now! If you had released it all… Let’s be honest, how much strength did you use just now?”

Luo Chen stretched out his right palm, and made a three with his thumb and index finger.

“Three percent of your strength?”

Wang Yuan was truly amazed this time.

Merely three percent of his strength had forced him to unleash the Giant Spirit Transformation.

If ten percent of his strength then?

Under such terrifying explosions, even he, at his peak state, might be blasted into fragments!

Seeing his amazement, Luo Chen laughed and shook his head.

“Brother Wang, why do you look so astounded? If it were a fight to life and death, with your capability, with your character.

You could have escaped the range of the technique at the time I was at the second step.”

“Why would you talk about being bogged down in the aftermath of bombing?”

The second step of casting Mountain Collapse was to attack Wang Yuan with the Wave Technique, forcing him to back off.

Wang Yuan thought for a moment.

If it were a fight to death, that move of the Wave Technique might be threatening to a normal Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, but it posed no threat to him.

He only needed to charge forward, interrupt Luo Chen’s subsequent casting action then it’s done.

It was just that they were exchanging pointers with each other, he chose to back off in order to retain his grace.

Upon realizing this, he was relieved.

Even so, he was still full of feelings.

“You little guy, you’re becoming cleverer and cleverer.”

“I’m Luo Chen, the chairman of Luo Tian Creed who has a deep understanding of human nature eh!” Luo Chen flashed a smiling face, “Shall we continue?”

Wang Yuan pursed his lip, took out a sackcloth from his storage bag, casually draping it over his naked body.

“Why continue, you’ve ruined my clothes.”

“Heh, stripping is man’s romance! If I strip first during a fight, who dares to have a three hundred round battle with me? But Brother Wang, you always ruin a piece of clothing every time you fight, which is a bit uncivilized after all!”

The two of them rambled and joked as they walked out.

Wang Yuan also had words to say!

Upon casting the Giant Spirit Transformation, his size would inevitably inflate, enlarge.

The garment that could bear such a huge size change was rare.

Not only did it require a material with particularly good flexibility, but it also needed to record the Third Order Ruyi Array at least!

And if one could record the Third Order Ruyi Array, it could not be a common garment, but a Magic Item!

He hadn’t come across such a good thing.

Luo Chen looked quite regretful, he hadn’t yet had a chance to experience the Blood God Tribulation Pointer from Wang Yuan properly.

He heard that the other side was currently developing the subsequent killing move of this set of finger techniques.

It was integrated with the Visible Power and the Pure Spirit Power formed by the liquid fusion of Spirit Qi after the “Origin of Qi” technique.

Wang Yuan naturally wouldn’t experiment on Luo Chen.

That move was still being developed by himself, he couldn’t do it as freely as controlling the power size of the Mountain Collapse.

As for the bottom-line killing moves of the two people?

Nobody mentioned it.

That already involved the stage of Magic Item.

In the state of Foundation Establishment, it’s difficult to use Magic Item as one pleases.

Outside the Dao Debate Platform,

Luo Chen offered a treat, and took Wang Yuan to the Zhong Ding Family where they had a big feast!

They were both practicing body refinement, and they went all out in this meal.

They ate up five hundred of Luo Chen’s Spirit Stones in total, which is comparable to a Lower Grade Qi-synthesis Pill!

After one meal, Luo Chen was heartbroken over the expense.

The last time the Zhong Ding Family offered a treat, it was in the Great River District to invite Elder Chen.

It seemed to cost only fifty-something Spirit Stones that time?

This time, it directly spent five hundred, which really felt like a spendthrift!

But seeing Wang Yuan eating so satisfyingly, and his face radiant, he didn’t care about it anymore.

Earning Spirit Stones is for spending, right?

Moreover, in this meal, after they had eaten so many good things and gone back to digest them, their physical bodies would benefit to some extent.

It counts as cultivation, right!

Upon parting, Wang Yuan gave a heads up.

“Sima Huiniang seems to be on the brink of Qi Refinement Finalization. If she is about to establish her foundation, you need to arrange someone to look after Luo Tian Creed.”

Hearing this, Luo Chen frowned slightly.

The time required for a breakthrough in the Foundation Establishment Stage is not too long.

Typically, it only takes about ten days or so, or a month at most.

However, the time needed to consolidate one’s realm after foundation establishment tends to be quite long.

It took him three years.

Disregarding Duan Feng, Min Longyu took half a year, and Wang Yuan took nearly the same amount of time.

If we take these as examples,

then there’s a high chance that Luo Tian Creed might have to face a leaderless period of half a year.

This is not good news for the rapidly developing Luo Tian Creed.

After some thought, Luo Chen slowly said:

“That’s alright. After she completes her Qi Refinement Finalization, I’ll handle everything.”

…

A month later.

In Tianlan Peak, Bing Sixth Cave Mansion.

This was a Medium Grade Cave Mansion of the Second Order, which Luo Chen specially rented in the name of Luo Tian Creed.

The concentration of Spirit Qi varied between Lower Grade and Ascendant Grade.

Normally, it would be Min Longyu and Wang Yuan using it.

Duan Feng would hardly ever come here. After forming a cultivation pair with Feng Xia, he independently rented a Lower Grade Cave Mansion.

Sharing wouldn’t be convenient anymore.

As for the cost of privately renting a lower-grade cave mansion?

That amount of Spirit Stones means nothing to Duan Feng.

As the master of the Equipment Hall, his monthly income, although not as high as Luo Chen’s, still exceeded that of ordinary Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.

At this moment, only a man and a woman were present in the vacant Immortal Mansion.

“Aren’t your eldest brother and your third brother coming to see you?” Luo Chen asked.

Sima Huiniang responded calmly, “Before preparing for the Closed-Door Cultivation, I already gathered with them, everything that needed to be communicated has been said.”

She was very calm, much more so than anyone else Luo Chen had ever seen who was about to reach Foundation Establishment.

Duan Feng was filled with resolve before his Foundation Establishment.

Wang Yuan was full of vigor during his Foundation Establishment.

At that time, Min Longyu had regained his original intention, and was firm and resolute.

As for Murong Qinglian, Luo Chen wasn’t quite sure about her state at the moment of her Closed-Door Cultivation since Qin Liangchen was taking care of her.

However, considering her failure afterwards, although she was determined to establish her foundation, she still had some concerns and worries.

Compared to these people, Sima Huiniang’s calm was a bit inconceivable.

It was clear that her natural talent wasn’t as good as the others’, and she was dealing with more miscellaneous issues.

But she was so calm, as if she wasn’t overly concerned whether she would succeed in establishing her foundation or not.

Luo Chen was a bit hesitant.

Based on the simulation in the Ghost God Heart Inquiry Mirror, Sima Huiniang had successfully established her foundation.

However, the memories were quite vague.

He even felt that he might just be hoping for a positive outcome based on his desire to unload some of his burden.

However, seeing the woman’s current state, he was a bit unsure.

“Aren’t you afraid to fail?”

Sima Huiniang’s lips slightly lifted, “What would happen if I fail?”

Luo Chen paused. What would happen if she failed?

Sima Huiniang laughed.

“If I succeed, I’m still the President of the Luo Tian Creed.”

“If I fail to establish the foundation, chief, are you really going to cast me aside?”

Alright!

No wonder she was so calm.

It seems she had already seen through the future.

Luo Chen knew he couldn’t afford to lose such a good helper.

Regardless of whether she succeeded or not, Sima would always have a place in Luo Tian Creed.

Sima Huiniang shook her head, a faint smile on her lips.

“In my life, I’ve walked the ends of the earth with my brothers, experienced rain and shine, ups and downs.”

“I’ve fantasized about establishing a foundation, and I’ve also worked hard for it.”

“But I know how difficult it is for a Rogue Cultivator to establish a foundation.”

“Hence, my efforts were aimless and the hope seemed elusive.”

“However!”

“Ever since I assumed office as President of Luo Tian Creed, and dealt with various matters of various sizes, making decisions on behalf of Luo Tian Creed, and developing it step by step, I could feel myself inching towards success.”

“When I saw Duan Feng and Wang Yuan successively establishing their foundations, I knew it would soon be my turn.”

“Today is simply a matter of inevitability.”

“For me, establishing a foundation should be as natural as a watercourse!”

Her calm words flowed like a gentle stream, without any major upheaval, they were soothing and empowering.

Luo Chen knew he didn’t need to say anything more to encourage her.

Stepping outside the Immortal Mansion.

Luo Chen nodded slightly at her.

“When you emerge, you and I should address each other as friends.”

Sima Huiniang pressed the switch of the Break Dragon Stone, pressing her lips together and remaining silent.

Thump!

A dull noise echoed.

Hearing the man outside leaving, Sima Huiniang leaned against the massive stone, murmuring to herself.

“Chief, I will walk this Dao with you!”
